The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent. and making part of the same accompanying drawing making a part of this. specifi-- cation, in whichy Y Figure 1 is a longitudimil vertical section in the line we, lig. 2, and y Figure '2 is a trausversg vertical section. This invention consists in providing-iii the upper .part of the fire box of a cooking-stove, a bridge, ex-- tending lengthwise of the box, which bridgeforms the frontside of -an air-chamber, lying horizontally over the ovens, and is perforated with a number of holes, made for the purposeof letting-out jets of heated air from the said chamber directly upon the smoke and gases rising from the fire-box, so that; the same may be more-thoroughly consumed, the firebox being also provided with perforated doors, so as to let in air .in jets for a similar purpose;

.The invention also consistsin the;.at'ta;chmeut to the stove of a hot-water tank, combined with heatingchambers; also, in providing fluesstrips', for conducting air in' the central parts of air-chamber over the oven; also, in perforated pot-hole covers.

In the drawing isshown a cooking-stove, in which A is the oven; i t I B, the ash-pit;

C, the fire-box; and

D, the fire-tine, extending round ;t-he.uven.

Upon the top of the oven is formed a'horizontal air-chamber, G, made by extending a [sheet-metal, plate, a, from the rear side of; the oven forward near- 1 y to the front doors of the tire-box, and. thencebending said plate back under itself,'an d' connecting it with the top of tne rear side of the'fire-box, so that the said aii chamber G extends over the, whole firebox, and its front side forms a bridge, b.

The plate a, that forms said chamber, is perforated at its front side, opposite thedoors E, with many holes, i

The chamber G receives air both from perforations in the sides of the stove, which perforations are guarded by dampers J, and also frolna flue, H, extending downward in rear of and forward underthe firebox, and opening into the ash-pit.

The air received from either opening is warmed by passing over the oven or in. rear of the-.fire-box, and issues from the perfiu'ations a of the bridge 11' inc. heated condition. and therefore, more 'readilydisposed to combustion, and these warm jets strike into the current of smoke and gas rising from the fuel in the firebox below, and supply oxygen for the consumption. of the same.

The doors E of the fire-b6): are also perforated, and furnish'an abundance of air in jets, so that it may be thoroughly intercommingled with the smoke and gases.

' By this arrangement, I am enabled to converge upon the smoke and gases rising from the fire-box.

two currents of air, the efi'ect of which is the almost entire consumption of all the products of combustion.

In order to oonducttbe external air into thecentral part of the chamber G, 'I provide two fiuestrips,

nnfm, extending inward parallel with the rear wall of from the sidevdampers J The object of thus conducting the air is to convey it at once to the warmestpartof the chamber.

Upon the upper part and rear side o't'the stove I place a-chamber, 0, divided intothree compartments. the central part being intended for a hot-water tank, andthe two end compartments being provided with shelves, so to serve as heating chamhers,-for keeping food warm.

I also attach similar flue-strips, n a, to those above the stove, and 'so placed as toform passagesleading described to the lower side of the chamber 0, and

upon each side of the passage, by which the hotair passes under the said chamber.

The strips n are extended nearly the whole length of the chamber 0, so as to keep the heated air directly under the same until it reaches the ends, where the strips terminate sutliciently short of the ends of the chamber to leave passages for the exit of the gases and smoke. f

Iprovidc a number of the above cot'ers'witlrperfora-tions, as shown at Z l, in order that, when the prodncts of combustion are burning near the covers, in the nighttime the light of the blaze may shine out through the perforations. Having thus described my invent-ion, 7 'What I claim as new, and desire'to secure by LettersPatent, is-'- 1. The flue-strips m .m, in combination with the chamber-G, as and for the purpose described.

2. In combination with acooking-stove, achamber,

0, provided with a central water-tank and end heat ing-chambers, substantially-as set forth.-

A hot-water tank, in combination with a stove, constructed as and'for the purpose described.,.

4. Extending'the air-chamber- G, by means of the passage H, downward,- in rear, of the fire-box, and so as to open into the ash-pit, substantially as described.

5. Perforated pot-hole covers, substantially as de- JOHN H.-G00DFELL0W.
